The current share price is about the same as just before the start of the buybacks, meaning of course that the market cap has reduced quite a bit despite the improving outlook, but as I said great for share repurchases.

so without a break it would be about May/June 2026

spend rates depend on rules and share volume - sometime in 2026 i would think, if the second 2 Billion is available when the first has been spent

''Vodafone just doesn’t seem to appeal to investors''

It is a no brainer to have the Billions allocated to share buybacks used at the lowest possible buyback prices for the greatest longer term benefit for Institutional and individual shareholders, where percentage ownership will increase a good amount for those retaining shares even without a single extra share being bought.

I for one would be content to see a low share price for as long as possible whilst buybacks are in operation. - others will have a more short term view.

''It is difficult to understand how these many factors will affect the share price.''

I think you will find that no one knows how any factor will affect the future valuation that the market places on a business. If they did they would become extremely rich in no time. Each trading day there are opposite views about a valuation of a business which is why there are buys/sales. Each investor will have to make up their own minds, hopefully with the help of commentary in the media to come to a viewpoint.

you complete idiot.

Steinbecking

first of all, comes to this board pretending to be a shareholder so as to give a platform for his disruptive posts, and then to some how back up his previous pretence posts -

''Got out today at a loss ''

and now we get -

''I still think there will be many headwinds, surrounding the car finance issue, to clear before we're out of the woods.''

as if by magic he is a shareholder once more.

Must be another case of age related memory problems, giving away deceit.

Your deceit will fool no one apart from the fools.

EZJ reached another 2 year high

HSBC reached yet another 5 year high

LLOY - still with low valuation, but up for the 2nd week in a row.

''Sold EZJ pre covid for £14.''..

''Airline shares have recovered a bit but still debt laden''

''EZJ has another 20% maybe?''

I bought at about 880p in 2016

I had sold out completely in 2018 at about £15.80p

I bought in again at 392p. on 13th Oct last year using some of previous profits,

so not too bothered about performance from here.

EZJ reached a 2 year high

HSBC reached yet another 5 year high

LLOY up - now valued above a low £33 Billion - £10 payment currently on a knife-edge

''Hmmm.....dark forces keeping this down we think....''

it is of benefit to shareholders who are keeping their holding for the longer term and large institutional shareholders, to have as many bought as possible at the lowest prices with the Billions being spent on buybacks.

HSBC reached another 5 year high

LLOY market cap up to a low £33 Billion

'' it's entirely possible that Lloyds could have been in the region of 70 to 80p today''

what has that got to do with the market giving a current market valuation of a bit over £33 Billion and the fact that buybacks have put about 11p into the current share price?

get your head sorted out

''LTI there's nothing you, or anyone else on here, could say to embarrass me.''

They don't need to - you say it yourself

'' a meaningful part of your existence.''

absolutely not. This is supposed to be an investor board.I will respond as appropriate to nonsense for the benefit of those who may understand. Unfortunately there are more than just yourself who are not capable of understanding, which I imagine comes from a combination of natural IQ levels and advancing age.

''Todays Highlight posts, it's what you usually do when there's been an exchange where you're clearly wrong.''

you have lost the plot, AGAIN. Highlight's are the hightlight's, simple enough to understand.

it . You appear to be clutching at off piste straws .

Flec

''Who's to say that the share price wouldn't have been 70 or 80p with 70 Billion shares in issue?''

So Flec thinks that there could have been the possibility, that with shareholders reinvesting dividends (what the fcuk has that got to do with market cap) with 70 Billion shares in issue, that today the market cap could have been £56 Billion today instead of £32 Billion.

Very embarrassing.

Time for your bed Flec.

''Between me and my wife we're pulling over £25,000 a year in tax free dividends''

I wouldn't want to make a post to embarrass you further

' Your 41.73p price also doesn't take into account a possible much higher share price based on sentiment, and many investors may have reinvested their dividends to increase their holdings. Who's to say that the share price wouldn't have been 70 or 80p with 70 Billion shares in issue?''

you are making yourself look more dumb from each successive post.

reinvesting dividends to increase holdings - AND? - wtf.

With current sentiment the fact is that the market is giving Lloyds a valuation of £32 Billion and with 76,675,953,467 shares in issue, the share price would be 41.73p.

''isn't based on fact''

?? wtf - YES a fact.

A valuation of £32 Billion and with 76,675,953,467 shares in issue, the share price would be 41.73p

'' you're not even close to the intelligence level you seem to think you are at.''

I don't 'think' - I was informed.

A simple graph to give a rough idea of when I made near peak sales and near the floor purchases.

I have mentioned in recent times how the market cap is way way way down on peak valuations - a very much higher share price would be needed to match the peak valuation
